The Jacksonville Jaguars announced they have elevated TE Josh Pederson from the practice squad to the active roster for Monday night’s game against the Bengals.
Players can be elevated three times per season and return to the practice squad without having to pass through waivers.
Pederson is the son of Jaguars HC Doug Pederson.
Pederson, 24, wound up going undrafted out of Louisiana-Monroe last April. He later signed on with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent.
However, San Francisco opted to waive Pederson and he caught on with the Saints for just one day before being cut again. He signed with the Chiefs to a futures deal back in January but was cut loose in May.
He was brought onto the Jaguars roster this offseason and re-signed with their practice squad after being among their final roster cuts.
During his college career, Pederson caught 99 passes for 1,191 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns over the course of four seasons and 35 games.
